I responded to him:

I read your letterin the Lou Smit guest book and decided to respond.

You think Lucinda and her children might have killed JonBenét because they didn't want to share John's fortune with her?

Huh?

Lucinda and both of her children were in Georgia at the time of the murder - physically impossible for them to be the killers.

Both John Andrew and Melinda wwere publicly cleared in this investigation.

And both John Andrew and Melinda have publicly supported Patsy - said she was a very loving step-parent - they considered her their second mother - not the evil step-mother.

All of that is public information - I think you should do a bit more research before you accuse innocent people - - in doing the wrong thing you are giving the guilty party a pass.

Maria posted a couple of comments - I believe she was directing the comments to me since Lou Smit had nothing to do with Don Foster.

Since Maria didn't leave an email address, I want to respond to her here.

First, Maria's comments:

"Please you are an idiot, don;t you think you did enough damage when you made it impossible to use Fosters testimony? NOW you make a tribute to bible thumping idiot boy Lou Smith. YOU should have let the police do the job that was theirs and kept your big nose/mouth out of it. I hope you are happy that a killer got away with this due in part to your role. YOu don;t think it was her mother??? Are you blind, it is fairly apparent why this happened it does not take agenius to figure it out. Someday the truth will come out and I hope you can live with yourself when it does."

My response:

I am not an idiot, but you are entitled to your inaccurate opinion so we will move past the flame.

I am proud of my part in exposing Don Foster and his "work" so that he could not hurt innocent people. The damage I did was to a lynch mob's dubious witness was an honorable and good thing.

I have spent a lot of time with Lou Smit in person. He is a good man, he acts like a true Christian but I never saw him thump a bible or say he would give any God-fearing killer a pass.

I should have let the police do their job? I didn't stop them. I just tried to make sure they did an honest job. And 6 years after the murder when the case went from their hands to the DA's office, I was very pleased because the BPD simply was not up for the task or challenge.

The killer didn't get away with this because of me - - in fact I still hope something I was a party to will help get this solved, the killer identified, exposed and properly punished.

Another person asked for Lou Smit's email address. I emailed that person and advised him to send anything he has to Lou in care of the Boulder DA's office - - or I can forward email or whatever. Lou does not make his email address public - but he is never far away.

messages to Lou placed in the guest book will be read - - may take a while, but will be read.

You wrote on Lou Smit's page, "The fiber evidence sure tends to point to the parents. I am awaiting the final DNA results, however, before stating my opinion."

I am confused - - what fiber evidence?

There are fibers that may be from Patsy's jacket on the tape - - but those fibers were in the paint tote and could have been transferred to the tape by the killer - he had gone into the paint tote for a paintbrush. And both John and Fleet had comforted Patsy that morning and then they both touched the tape - - they could have carried the fibers to the tape.

What is more important in my mind are the fibers on the tape that were not sourced. There were colored fibers, a beaver hair, and specifically some light brown fibers that seem to be from a cheap pair of cotton gloves - - gloves that remain missing.

Maybe someone knows who the killer is and knows where those gloves are. Would be nice if they got those gloves and turned them in to the new investigators.

As for other fibers - - the dark ones on the genitals - - no lab report verifies that claim that the fibers are from John's sweater. No report that I know of.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IF someone thinks they know where those gloves are - or the source of the dark blue fibers - PLEASE gather them up carefully - put them in a brown paper bag and staple that bag shut - send to investigators. To pick up the item, use clean tweezers or tongs or put your own hand in a clean plastic bag so you don't contaminate the evidence.

Many paint brushes are made with animal hair, including beaver. Did anyone bother to see if the other brushes she had were made with animal hair?
